Supporting Families in Sunrise with In-Home ABA Therapy
Located in the heart of South Florida, Sunrise is a thriving city in central-western Broward County that has grown significantly since its incorporation in 1961. Originally established as Sunrise Golf Village with fewer than 350 residents, the city now has a population of over 97,000, making it a major hub for families, commerce, and entertainment. This dynamic growth has created a community rich with resources but also one where families often navigate busy schedules. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) recognizes the unique lifestyles of Sunrise families and provides compassionate, effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy where it's needed most: at home, school, and within the community.
Sunrise is distinguished by its central location and accessibility, bordered by major thoroughfares like the Sawgrass Expressway, I-75, and I-595. For parents working at major employment centers like the Sawgrass International Corporate Park or managing family life around the city's bustling hubs, this accessibility is key. MCDS embraces this by offering in-home and community-based ABA therapy, reducing the burden of travel for families and allowing our therapists to provide support directly within the child's natural environment. This model of care is designed to fit into your life, not disrupt it.
Life in Sunrise offers many opportunities for children to learn and practice new skills. From community outings near world-class destinations like Sawgrass Mills to local parks and events, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) can help your child generalize skills learned in therapy to real-world situations. The goal is to build functional skills that promote independence and social engagement. Whether your child is learning to navigate a busy public space or improving communication skills at home, our therapy plans are tailored to their individual needs and your family’s goals.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is dedicated to being a trusted partner for families in Sunrise and surrounding communities like Weston, Davie, and Tamarac. We believe that consistent, individualized care provides a strong foundation for children with autism. By providing services in familiar settings, we help children and their families develop strategies and skills that are both meaningful and sustainable for everyday life in this active South Florida city.
